Same performance for me. My conspiracy theory is that Google is doing this to Apple devices on purpose, as that’s the only video streaming site and devices I have a problem with on my 50Mbps connection.

It must be true because Eric Schmidt has such a good record when it comes to predicting the future of television:

“By the summer of 2012 the majority of the televisions that you see in the television stores here will have Google TV embedded in it.”

Not everyone. I have three TVs in my house and no cable. One TV gets only local TV channels, another TV is connected to a Roku, the third TV is connected to a Wii. I have a Netflix account and a HuluPlus account. I don’t watch anything on YouTube.

Yeah, just didn’t take the comment as them saying “we’ve beat TV at network/studio content” (since it is pretty clear YouTube doesn’t have the content TV has).

dr.no

real metric is ad dollars what is youtube bring in versus TV channel or TV Company.

Google Fiber is still making deals with Television and they worked pretty hard to get ESPN and HBO signed up as well. Guess the future isn’t here quite yet (although I suspect with Google Fiber i’ll have a much better connection to Youtube than most other streaming services.)

The only thing I’ve “tuned in” to YouTube for (so far) was Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome. They broke it up into tiny segments, and it didn’t stream very well. Months later, they showed it reassembled with extra scenes on SyFy HD, which proved to be far more enjoyable. YouTube has a time and place, and it’s perfect for certain things, but winning versus TV?
